AceShowbiz - Fresh off ending his feud with Wiz Khalifa, Kanye West may have found a new enemy in Rolling Stone. The rapper wasn't too pleased when the magazine called him out over a fake Rolling Stone cover shot by Tyler, the Creator and posted on Twitter Wednesday, January 3.
"ROLLING STONE SHOT BY TYLER THE CREATOR," Kanye wrote alongside a picture of him smiling widely while sporting denim top and dark-colored beanie. Shortly after, Rolling Stone made it clear in their own tweet that the cover wasn't authorized.

While we love Kanye, and have many mustard-related questions for him, this is not an actual cover of Rolling Stone https://t.co/2c3ZWpaorN

"While we love Kanye, and have many mustard-related questions for him, this is not an actual cover of Rolling Stone," they said. The clarification, however, didn't sit well with Kanye, who hit back using the hashtag "#trollingstone" and asked his followers if they think it could be an actual cover.
I bet you this still becomes the cover though... Let's do another poll..... #trollingstone

"I bet you this still becomes the cover though... Let's do another poll..... #trollingstone," he said before posting a poll which shows that nearly 50 percent of the respondents thought Rolling Stone shouldn't use the image as a cover.
In some follow-up posts, 'Ye lashed out at Billboard for using the term "fake." "@billboard ... it's not a fake cover... you seen it didn't you... you know we shot it didn't you," he wrote. "Aye Billboard you could use the term 'unauthorized' but never refer to anything that me and Tyler do as fake out of respect to musicians."
